There is no cloud. It's just someone else's computer. As people de-cloud over this decade, personal servers will become as ubiquitous as internet routers.
I'm thrilled to announce that @getumbrel has raised $3M to bring the power back to people. 🎉

Users running Umbrel servers in their homes are powering 90% of all the Lightning Network nodes launched over the last year.
The world’s most open, fair, and decentralized monetary network isn’t powered by AWS, but by regular people — the plebs.

As Umbrel evolves from a Bitcoin and Lightning node to a personal server, our mission has never felt more urgent.
Surveillance capitalism has plagued the internet, and self-hosting your data and services on your personal server is the only way out.

It feels like a dream when we look back on our journey over the last year. 💫
I got lucky to have met @lukechilds right before the pandemic. Looking back, he’s the best cofounder that I could have asked for.

Fundraising is a gratifying signal that we’re on the right track — but it’s a means to an end, not an end itself.
The only thing that really matters is building something that people love.
